The underwater songs of Xenopus laevis Darcy B. Kelley This essay is meant to serve as an introduction to our research program. A complete list of our published papers (and many of the papers themselves as pdf's) is maintained on the lab web site. What may be difficult, however, to infer from the papers is the research trajectory itself: the origins of our interests, the choice of a model system and what we are actively focusing upon now. This essay is meant to serve as a guide to reading the papers by providing an account of the historical background and the motivation that drove each of the kinds of studies we have carried out. Because you might be interested in new projects, whose results are not yet published, they are highlighted here. |
